A new flotilla to Gaza in April will attempt to break the 18-year Israeli blockade. It is expected to involve over 3,000 activists from 100 countries on 100 boats, including a medical fleet of 1,000 health care workers to deliver 500 tons of life-saving aid. chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-flotil...
The Flotillas to Gaza Are the World’s Conscience
The numerous attempts by activists in flotillas, to break the siege on Gaza, are a potent reminder that hope comes through acts of resistance and that we must never accept the status quo.
